Frequently Asked Questions

The ECO4 scheme is a government-backed energy efficiency programme aimed at reducing carbon emissions and tackling fuel poverty. It provides eligible households with free energy upgrades, such as loft insulation, boiler replacement, and solar panels, following a whole-house approach to improve energy performance.

GBIS is a separate scheme focused specifically on insulation improvements for homes with poor energy efficiency (EPC rating D–G). It’s designed to help lower-income households or those with high heating costs access free or subsidised loft and wall insulation.

Depending on your eligibility and property needs, you may qualify for:

• Loft insulation
• Cavity wall insulation
• Solid wall insulation (external/internal)
• A-rated boiler replacement
• Solar panel installation
• Heating controls and more
